‘Euripides’ Medea’ Poster: Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan’s theatre directorial debut looks outstanding

Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan announced her unconventional directorial debut with a theatre production ‘Euripides’ Medea’. In another delightful outing, the official poster of her directorial debut play ‘Euripides’ Medea’ is out now.

Interestingly, the poster has been painted by Farhat Datta and it shows the protagonist of the play, which is a woman holding a knife full of blood with a furious expression, which has made the poster more intriguing. It’s based on a greek classic that stays at the core of the poster.

The official social media handle of ‘Euripides’ Medea’ has taken to their Instagram handle and shared the intriguing poster of the play. ‘Euripides’ Medea’ is a play with a greek tragedy storyline- a classic ‘Euripides’ Medea’ which will be showcased in selected Indian cities, this year-end.

When asked about the poster, Farhat Datta said, “Ira told me about this really interesting Greek mythological story on which she was directing a play. I was intrigued. She said she wanted me to make a painting that would be used as the face of the play in the poster and all the publicity material. She had a clear idea about what the artwork should portray. All the discussions and idea exchanges helped me to give form to her vision.”

Talking about the concept, Farhat shares, “Medea is filled with anger and humiliation, which is all-consuming. To take revenge, she resorts to murder. So, the visual had to portray the emotion of passion, anger and revenge. The fiery red on one side depicts the anger and heightened emotions, while the other darkened side portrays her mental state, which culminates into murder. The figure also had to project a confident personality.”

Farhat Datta spoke up about her niece Ira and said, “She was an adorable baby and has grown into a lovely young woman. Her enthusiasm, spirit and ‘nothing is impossible’ attitude is infectious. It inspires me. I lived in the US during a large part of her childhood, but she used to come and spend summer vacations there, where we have celebrated so many of her birthdays. Also, we love similar things like art, playing cards with my mom and also the 70’s TV show, Golden Girls. I wish her all the best on this new venture of hers.”

In the recent development, veteran actress Sarika has turned into a theatre producer and will help the play by Ira Khan, who will don the director’s hat for the same. Of course, dad Aamir Khan must be on cloud nine thinking about his daughter’s first step into the creative field.

Sarika has started her production house NautankiSa Productions and is joined by friend Sachin Kamani and her younger daughter Akshara Haasan.

Aamir Khan, on the other hand, is busting his balls trying to get the perfect look and physique for his next film, ‘Laal Singh Chadha’. The film is an adaptation of Tom Hanks’ ‘Forrest Gump’ and we are super excited to see Aamir Khan finally say yes to this film.
